Pandemic (Victory!)

1. Move to Toronto
2. Treat Toronto
3. Move to New York
4. Treat New York

Everyone good with that?

Madrid (blocked by Medic)

We would have been so hosed if I hadn't gone to Madrid.

This looks good. The fewer three-cube cities on the board, the better - especially adjacent ones.

Current Turn: Turn 5.1, Dispatcher: the worst

[GeorgeBailey]

Duckspatcher, could you put me in the pacific ocean instead of Atlantic pls.

[Nancy Drew 39]

checking in

[Farren]

On my end - my prime goal is to end my next turn at Hong Kong so that Nancy can get the Hong Kong card from me.

I can do that without being moved around, but there would be a couple of advantages to moving me to Paris:
1) One less turn where drawing Paris triggers an outbreak;
2) I have the option of treating Bangkok instead of Kolkata.

Moving Nancy to Hong Kong might also be a good idea; it'd save her a move on her next turn.

Duckspatcher

love this

just refreshing myself on where we're at.

1) Should probably always be to treat Washington. It's just right there.
Still think my plan is reasonably sound:
2) move to Miami;
3) move to Bogotã;
4) drag George to Bogotã.

Though I wonder if there's suddenly an argument to get George or Farren somewhere near Bangkok/Kolkata instead?

[Farren]

If I'm not moved at all, this is my next plan.
1) Move&Treat Paris
2) Move to Chennai (via card)
3) Move&Treat Kolkata
4) Move to Hong Kong (so Nancy can grab the card from me on her next turn).

If I'm moved to Paris, then I hit up Bangkok instead of Kolkata with the extra move. Still wouldn't be able to do both.

Just moving me to Shanghai wouldn't accomplish much - I'd still have to choose between Bangkok and Kolkata, and I'd miss out on Paris.

There's a way I could hit all three, but it'd take most of your turn to do it; dunno if it's worth it.

1) Move me to Paris (which should auto-treat it - maybe confirm with lendunistus?)
2) Move me to Shanghai
3) Move me to Hong Kong
4) ... ?

Then I could follow up with
1) Move&Treat Kolkata
2) Move to Bangkok
3) Treat Bangkok
4) Move to Hong Kong.

[the worst]

That's actually probably pretty decent plan given how many 3-cube cities we have I think. George and I can always handle our cure later.

1) Move me to Paris (which should auto-treat it - maybe confirm with lendunistus?)

@lendunistus

- sorry for the informal question, posting quickly. Would this work within one action from me?


My fourth action there should be curing Washington still I think, Farren.

[lendunistus]

@lendunistus

Since Farren is in Madrid and Paris is connected to Madrid, this is indeed achievable in one action (since Dispatcher csn move pawns as if they were moving themselves).

[the worst]

1) Move me to Paris (which should auto-treat it - maybe confirm with lendunistus?)
2) Move me to Shanghai
3) Move me to Hong Kong
4)

Treat Washington

how would this be? any objections George/Nancy?

Oh, wait, this was about the auto-treat. There is a clarification on the final page of the rules that says the following:

“The Medic’s automatic removal of cubes can occur on other players’ turns, if he is moved by the Dispatcher or the Airlift event.”

As such, Medic does indeed auto-treat Paris if he’s moved there by the Dispatcher.

Looks good to me. Might delay Yellow some, but Yellow doesn't seem to be a major threat right now.

[GeorgeBailey]

Yeah looks good, plus since Nancy got a red card she's just one away from red and it'll be easier now.

[the worst]

Gonna do it as I'm about to turn in;

1) Move Farren to Paris
2) Move Farren to Shanghai
3) Move Farren to Hong Kong
4) Treat Washington

[lendunistus]

Player card draws: Khartoum and Baghdad

Infections: Osaka, Istanbul and Algiers

Discard pile:



Current Turn: Turn 5.2, Medic: Farren

[Farren]

@mod

: the card draws got put into my hand instead of the worst's.

[Farren]

While waiting for that to be cleared up - don't see any reason not to go with my original plan.

Not official yet; will give everyone at least some time to check in.

1. Move&Treat Kolkata
2. Move to Bangkok
3. Treat Bangkok
4. Move to Hong Kong.

[GeorgeBailey]

Above looks good!

Hot damn, we're getting lucky with the card draws. I think we can end this in 1 more rotation. Farren ends on Hong Kong, Nancy takes Hong Kong and flies to Chicago to treat on next turn.

I end my turn on Bogota and use Quiet night. TW cures yellow. Then we just gotta hold out so scientist cures.

We got this!

[the worst]

Oh my gosh, these outbreaks are toast. Fist-bumps incoming!!

That plan suits me, Farren
